Background: The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap's overall success in the reconstruction of the lower limb has been acceptable, but the sole of the foot remains more challenging. The purpose of this article is to report our experience employing the SCIP flap and evaluate its durability in reconstructing different units of the foot's sole, heel, middle, and forefoot.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 18 patients with sole defect reconstructed with free SCIP flap from 2017 to 2019.
